So after getting mugged at gunpoint last weekend (:curse:), I am in the market for a new Sprint phone.  I have tried Treo's and the Motorola Q, but am looking in a different direction.

Does anyone have the Instinct?  If so, thoughts?  TIA!

The mugging @ gunpoint would have been a much more interesting thread.

QFMFT.  Also, the Palm Pre comes out this summer and looks pretty cool.  Had an instinct for a while and really liked it but didn't like paying the mandatory $100 a month plan.

$69.99 is the smallest one. . .they must've seen you coming if you paid 100.

No, you have to have the "simply everything" plan with the instinct, it's mandatory.  LMAO at you questioning me  :lol:

This would be good too.  I like the slideout keyboard on the Touch Pro, but I really don't use it that often.

I like that one a lot.  Don't like the Diamond as much because of the keyboard mentioned.

You just have to have the Everything Data plan, which starts at 69.99.  They tricked you.  I know this because I had an instinct. . .and I will be purchasing the Palm Pre.

My roomate (who got mugged with me) has/had the Touch Pro.  It's a pretty cool phone.  Don't want to spend that much money to buy one though.  I have seen the Pre, but don't want to wait until it comes out.  I may be SOL for a while because I really don't want to pay $100/month with the Instinct.

I will give more details on the mugging after the legal process has run it's course.  I will say this though, be careful with cabs.  When you take them, have at least 3 people and always someone in the front seat.  Sorry to be a tease about this right now, but I'll give more details later.

Dude, you can get a $70 plan with the Instinct. I think if you get a Sprint employee to give you their info, the new (crappier) SERO will get it for you for 60 I believe.

i would buy a cheap phone off of craigslist and activate it until the Palm Pre hits stores (don't sign a new contract), looks like sometime in June timeframe.  will be worth the wait.


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

I have the Centro and am eagerly awaiting the Pre.

I also LOL at the non-elites paying more than $40 a month for everything.

Or if we get a settlement, I'll post pics of the piles of Cash.  Otherwise I could always show the police report.   :cheers:

I have an old phone I can activate for now.  Maybe I'll do that and wait for the Pre like clams suggested.

lol, that guy was probably paying like 30 extra bones a month for god knows how long.  you know how many months of KSUFans.com Premium he could've bought with all that money.  (probably could buyout the site. . .hostile takeover style).

What's the big deal with the Pre? The phone itself doesn't look that great. The OS should have came out 5 years ago. I'm just not a Palm guy.

don't understand the fascination with touch phones.  Hate them
